Use of Flowrate function in Repetier-Host causes printer to become extremely slow and jittery #48

Closed connerk closed 6 years ago

connerk commented 11 years ago

each time I attempt to change Flowrate the printer begins to print extremely slow and jittery. returning returning Flowrate to 100% and pausing the printer for around 10 seconds resolves the slow jitter. Pausing momentarily when Flowrate is <>100% rectifies the jitter momentarily, but it returns quickly.

I tried to force this with no success.

I had an idea that it is a feedback problem between host and firmware. In this case the file log should show many messages about filament settings. In the last host i made a fix to reduce this kind of communication in the hope it helps.

Are there some models where it still happens? I will continue to move the flow every now and then to test myself so i can make a picture myself..

My Rostock printer is also very jittery when moving slow for the first layer, even when not using flowrate.

I also have this issue, anytime I move the flowrate off of 100 it acts like the buffer is empty even when the print was fine before.

@connerk are you still having the issue after all these years? or can we close the issue and call it solved?

i think that @repetier would love to have the issue list as short as possible

repetier commented 6 years ago

I think it is solved. Will close all open issues once V2 start to be usable so I can concentrate on the active bugs.

boelle commented 6 years ago

will it be usefull if i read all open issues and make a comment on them? i have notthing better to do anyway

repetier commented 6 years ago

That would spam me with messages only. I think easiest is if I just close them once I'm at that point. Should be done in an hour if I just paste same hint and close.

boelle commented 6 years ago

yep, not as smart as i thought.

and i guess it will take some time to close them too as (if it was me) you would have to give every issue a fast read to see if looks solved or if it is an feature request or idea you could use for V2
